The Stage 2 Survey is a more in depth survey for barn owls and includes a detailed search of all potential roost features identified during the Stage 1 survey by a Schedule 1 licensed ecologist.

Our ecologists will search for barn owls, barn owl pellets, splashings (barn owl droppings), nest debris and scratch marks on roof beams. All of these features can indicate that a roost feature is being used, or has been used in the past by barn owls. Based on the evidence found during the Stage 2 Survey, an assessment will be made as to whether the roost is likely to have been used as a breeding site.
